- I'm mildly annoyed by it... but hate? Not so much. I save my hate for things that deserve it... like Apple Fanboys.10-22-09 03:49 PMLike 0
- Your info states you are on Verizon and they offer visual voicemail. Should be a free service if I'm not mistaken.10-22-09 03:51 PMLike 0
- It's not a free service but it is a cool service. I think it's $2.99 a month but I love it. No dialing into voice mail, just hit the play button. You can erase it, save it, call the person directly from it. I see nothing wrong with it. On Verizon it works very well.10-22-09 03:54 PMLike 0

Visual Voice Mail is an application that allows subscribers to view caller and voice mail information and listen to voice mail messages in any order on their wireless device. Scroll through your messages, pick the ones you want to listen to, erase or archive them right from your screen on your wireless device. You can call back, text and add to contacts directly from the Visual Voice Mail screen.
Other features include:
Get on-screen access to voice mail message status.
Access voice mail with one button and get instant playback.
Save up to 40 messages for 40 days, or archive them permanently
Create 10 different caller-ID based greetings.
Reply via call back, text, or even voice mail.
The cost is $2.99/month.10-22-09 03:57 PMLike 0 - Well, my experience with VVM has been pretty crappy.
I do like the service but the software interface is so buggy I can barely stand using it!!!
Many times I miss notifications for hours. When I do get a notification and try to listen to the message it automatically skips to the end of the message over and over and over again. Then, for some reason, after the 3rd or 4th attempt to hit the play button, it suddenly works.
I really hope they improve the interface. The messages also stop playing when a notification like incoming email or text alerts play.
It just feels like some old, old program that should be much more user friendly.
I would also like them to add an option to change the title of the message. I get a lot of calls forwarded from my office. I'd like to be able to change the text from 'office forward call' to 'Joe Smith re conf call' or something simple like that.
Sorry to hijack but the service is NOT free - as another post mentions it is $2.99/mo and it could be so much more worth it if they fixed the bugs.
Did I mention that if the screen orientation changes it stops playing the messages? Well it does that too. So half the time when you hit 'play' and then put the phone to your ear it stops playing.
Yuck! I was hoping they would have improved things over the course of about a year but I guess that's asking too much.
Again, sorry to hijack the thread.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com10-23-09 07:55 AMLike 0 - I'm running .323 on my storm 9530, and I don't get any notifications when I get a new voice mail. If I go to vvm and check for messages, they come up and the notification comes up on the home screen. Does anyone else have this issue, or is it working properly for anyone? I thought maybe it is os related. I called tech support and they weren't able to fix it. Thanks

What pushed me over the edge was last week. I mainly use my phone for work, so on weekends, I sometimes leave it upstairs in the office. I did miss a few calls, and I did get some of the voice mails. I returned the calls and thought all was ok. But on Wed, I get a call from a client asking why I didnt call him back, he said he left me a message. I opened Visual Voice mail. I had messages from Sat, Sun and Mon, but nothing from this client. I opened the app and clicked "get messages". no new messages. I then called *86 and I had 8 new messages. 2 that never downloaded to my visual voicemail.
I have uninstalled it several times, I have been on with customer service a few times.
Finally, I called last week and said I wanted to remove it. to my surprise, the customer serivce rep didnt even ask why, he just took it off. I assumed that many were having issues.
I now use YouMail. It isnt great, but it is free.10-23-09 11:31 AMLike 0
